Liane Moriarty, global literary sensation and winner of the 2015 Davitt Award (Best Adult Novel) for Big Little Lies, will present this year's Awards. Prior to the presentations, Liane will discuss her life in crime with Melbourne author, Vikki Petraitis.

Liane Moriaty is the the Australian author of six internationally best-selling novels, Three Wishes, The Last Anniversary, What Alice Forgot, The Hypnotist's Love Story and the number 1 New York Times bestsellers, The Husband's Secret and crime book, Big Little Lies.

Vikki Petraitis has been writing true crime since the early 1990s and her best-selling book about Frankston serial killer, Paul Denyer, was re-released in 2011 as The Frankston Serial Killer. Petraitis’ latest book, The Dog Squad, takes a close look at the amazing work done by police dogs and their handlers.
